G2

Holly Springs Cultural Center

"Where the Tall Grass Grows" is the latest release from this bluegrass band based out of Stockholm, Sweden. "G2" stands for "second generation" as all the band members learned to play bluegrass from their parents. Considering the fact that all the guys are somewhere in their 20s, they are a considerably young band and resemble the younger Bluegrass musicians of Sweden today. These guys are determined to play the bluegrass and they do it their own way. Their talents has garnered them recognition as the #1 European Bluegrass Band 2007 from the European Bluegrass Music Association (EBMA).
